Watch Goal Video: Chelsea 0 – 1 Newcastle United – Callum Wilson scores the opening goal after dribbling the defenders

As a result of the fact that this could be one of the few genuine opportunities for Mauricio Pochettino to win a trophy in his first season as manager of the club, the game that is scheduled to take place tonight is of heightened importance. Although this is the case, it is still anticipated that Pochettino will make significant substitutions after his Chelsea team defeated Sheffield United just three days ago.

In addition, there is a possibility that Christopher Nkunku will make his first appearance in a competitive game for the institution. On Saturday, Nkunku was included in the squad for the first time since he made his move from RB Leipzig during the summer transfer window for an estimated cost of £52 million; however, he did not serve as a replacement during the triumph.

As Mauricio Pochettino wants to stretch his squad in the midst of this congested fixture schedule, it is possible that we will see the France international in some capacity tonight. Around seven o’clock (UK time), which is one hour before the game is set to begin at eight o’clock, we will be informed of the official team news.
